Some major changes are underway in the main police headquarters.
On Friday, Marek Bienkowski resigned as Chief of Police. It is also possible that the Deputy Chief of Police Waldemar Jarczewski may soon go. According to daily Rzeczpospolita, officers from the Central Investigation Bureau (CBS), who were working on a corruption case involving the Finance Ministry discovered unclear connections between Waldemar Jarczewski, the deputy chief of police with Henryk Stoklosa, who is a suspect in the case. When Jarczewski discovered that the CBS was investigating his relations with Stoklosa he tried to get rid of the CBS chief Jaroslaw Marzec and complained about him to the Interior Minister, who was then Ludwig Dorn and Bienkowski. Janusz Kaczmarek, then the National Prosecutor and Justice Minister Ziobro defended Jaroslaw Marzec. Now, Janusz Kaczmarek has became the new Interior Minister the question is who will become new Chief of Police. There is speculation that it will probably be Konrad Kornatowski, a long-time colleague of Janusz Kaczmarek. (Rzeczpospolita, February 10-11, p. A1, A3) M.M.
